Common everyday misconceptions that drive you mad

[KneeOn]

That because I take computing, i'm unable to like football.

That because I love Brighton and Hove Albion, i'm automatically a god at football.

That because I say i'm a "tank" at things, i'm great. No, being a tank can also mean you give it 110%.

That because i'm tan skinned, I'm every other flipping nation under the sun bar the actual origin of my heritiage. (although this you come to accept)

That because I really like NASCAR, i'm a red neck who bangs his mother (only half true!).

That Japan is the epicentre of everything and anything, and that any other nation pales in comparison because they have Anime.

That because i just cannot grasp spelling, i'm an idiot. No actually, if you tried to fight me in a battle of intellect, i know an awful lot. I just have difficulty getting letters right. ****.

That because i'm a little bit good at computers, i know everything. The whole "your a computer nerd, so tell me about quantum f***ing phsyics. I don't have a f***ing clue you ignorant prick".

That brighton are poor. NO WE ARE NOT. That we play at withdean stadium because we like it. NO WE f***ing DON'T. That Brighton will always remain shit. NO WE f***ing WONT.

I don't really care what you just said but I love your avatar. She has to be the most beautiful thing i've ever seen on TV. I've always hated Dr Who but now its one of my favourite shows. She is magnificent

"I'd like a Burger/Hot dog/etc"

"Want Onions?"

"No if I had wanted them I would have asked for them.

This.

 

[bhaexpress]

Personally its when people say, ooh I hear your accent where are you from, like I'm going to lump then when they guess wrong....

Had to smile, go to America, I'd love to know what they make of a real Australian accent !

She is perfect in every way. She cannot do any wrong.

Oh, and (to keep it on topic) if you watch Dr Who, you spend saturday night in, with your mother playing scrabble because you have no life. f***ing iPLAYER YOU MONG! :US:

 

[happypig]

Because I like playing with computers, I want to spend hours on the phone sorting out "this funny little box came up and I clicked ok and nothing works now"
Because I work for BT I know about why your broadband is "a bit slow"
Because I didn't go to university, I'm thick
Because I prefer Planet Rock to Classic FM I'm somehow culturally inferior
That it's funny to reply to "I'm in court all day" with "Oh, what have you done ?" (It was mildly funny, once, in 2005. since then it's somewhat tiresome)

 

[tedebear]

They thought I was English in New York.

The next comment I get when I tell people I'm Australian is oooh my aunt/uncle/sister/brother is there - do you know them?

Why yes of course its such a SMALL country and of course you know everyone in England dnn't you...derrrrr

1) do people really think that?

2+3) blimey, you're a hard one to please there. how do you have an intellect fight?

 

[Durlston]

Everyone likes butter in a bacon sarnie. I just find it repulsive.

 

[Race]

that wearing always ultra gives a woman a 'happy period'. yeah right, theres no such thing!

 

[Gritt23]

Oh God yeah - that and the "Well okay you support Brighton but you must surely support a big club as well though"

I generally go back with the same sort of questions about International football. "So, who do you support apart from England?"

"Well, no-one. I'm from England innit."

"EXACTLY!"

At that point, I often get a blank look, and a change of subject.

Whhhhooooooosssshhhhhh!!!

 

[Acker79]

If you find slender women attractive you are in the minority and only fancy them because the media has brainwashed you.

Or on a similar track, if you don't like someone that someone else does, you have to have a supermodel girl/boyfriend. No, just a different taste in ladies/men

1) do people really think that?

2+3) blimey, you're a hard one to please there. how do you have an intellect fight?

1) People really do. At least, several people seem to think that Japan can not do anything wrong.

2+3) not hard to please. Yes, self admitidally, i cannot spell. No other reason for it than that i'm no good at spelling. I'm not dyslexic. Yet several people seem to think therefore i'm an idiot. Actually i'm not, without sounding boastful, i'm quite smart.

Or that because I know about computers, i also do maths, physics, chem, biology, and i know it all to PhD level. I don't. I know my computers and thats it. There needs to be a balance, i'm not an idio tbecause i canno spell but just konwing abotu computers doesnt' mean i'm automatically goign to know how the hardon collider works.

That British expats in the Middle East are all sundrenched leathery-skinned monsters.

And they have sex on the beach.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

"Where are you from?" Brighton
"No, where are you really from?" Brighton. I was born here.
"But where do your parents come from?" China
"So you're really from China?" No, I'm from Brighton
"Do you ever go back?"

 

[e77]

My favourite is that everyone on the South East is middle class and there are jobs for everyone.

1)Tell them they're weirdos.

2+3)see 1.

 

[KVLT]

That because he's Argentinian Gabriel Heinze's name must be pronounced 'Ain't-say'.

His father is German so it's 'Hind-sir'.

Christ on a bike, how the blazes does Heinze become 'Ain't-say' anyway.

Glad the Argies are out for no other reason than having to listen to ALL the commentators pronouncing it this way, BBC included.

 

[defrocked priest]

Because i work as a painter & decorator everyone thinks i want to go paint their houses for them. Even worse they expect me to do it for free.
I wouldn't expect a chef to come cook for me in my house or a cleaner to come & clean for free

This. Common misconception. Take note all you spongers.

I too am a tradesman and get quite irate when I tell someone what trade I do and then automatically they ASSUME I will do their chores at the drop of a hat. f*** right off, I do this job fifty plus hours a week and the last thing I want to do is more of it on my bloody days off. If I was at a social gathering and I met say a dentist, I wouldn't think of opening my gob, sticking a finger in there and slurring on about " Does this tooth look infected to you?" I'd have the decency to politely ask for a business card.
